Sol Jerome discovered that kadmind service in krb5, a system for authenticatingusers and services on a network, allows remote authenticated users to cause adenial of service (daemon crash) via a request from a kadmin client that sendsan invalid API version number.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed inversion 1.6.dfsg.4~beta1-5lenny3.

The testing distribution (squeeze), and the unstable distribution (sid) arenot affected by this issue.

We recommend that you upgrade your krb5 package.
